Law and Identity in Spatial Contests

Law has had a traditional reference to land, conceived as territory, in the notion of a jurisdiction, where the law of the land applies equally to all individuals. Recent critiques of this view have suggested that a plurality of laws may apply in particular places. How this spatial pluralism impacts on dominant views of law is considered through two instances in which law has interacted with competing conceptions of place and territory in relations between European and Indigenous Australians. Space, law and identity are seen to constitute each other in complex forms. Indigenous beliefs and practices challenge the claims to universality of Western conceptions of law and space deriving from Roman law and spatial practices.     

公众舆论、市民社会与法治

公众舆论是市民社会的重要结构性要素。它作为市民社会民主权利表达的最基本方式,发挥公共领域的合法性功能,为政治的合法性提供基础。它还是权力制约机制的核心,通过舆论监督实现对公权力的制约,从而促进民主与法治的实现。然而它在垄断资本主义阶段却产生了异化,丧失了对公权力的制约功能。因此,我国在建构市民社会的过程中,在保证公众舆论发挥应有作用的同时,也要避免这种异化现象。     

马克思对黑格尔市民社会思想的批判及超越

马克思、恩格斯在创立自己的理论过程中,批判地吸取了黑格尔的唯心辩证法和费尔巴哈唯物论的合理内核。马克思从"市民社会"出发,开始步入现实生活,揭示社会的真实面目,寻找社会的发展规律,创立了新的、科学的历史观,即历史唯物主义。     

Research-based service-learning: outcomes of a social policy course

Previous research has found service-learning in undergraduate social policy courses to increase students’ knowledge, skills, values, and competence. The present study utilized a sample of 60 graduate-level social work students who participated in a research-based service-learning (RBSL) project that involved collecting and analyzing data about the extent of payday loan use among bankruptcy filers and reporting results to community partners. Quantitative findings revealed significant increases in students’ personal social responsibility. Qualitative findings shed light on growth in personal social responsibility, civic awareness, policy advocacy, and personal values. Suggestions for future studies using RBSL pedagogy to teach social policy are discussed.     

发展先进文化全面提高公民思想道德素质

道德建设包括道德理论和规范的制定、宣传和教育,道德理想和风尚的提倡,道德信仰和行为的培养。道德教育是一项系统工程,它蕴涵在家庭教育、学校教育、职业教育、环境教育及社会大众传媒教育之中。     

“公共性”的价值信念及其文化理想

公共性是现代公民社会之公共生活的本质属性,具有开放、平等与社群的特性,通过特定共同体成员理性、自觉的交互主体性行为与结构性活动而得以存在。现代社会的“公共性危机”,集中表现为“文化公共性”理想的迷茫,是文化自身的合法性与合理性认同的危机。真正为社会所共有、共享的公共性,是多元利益主体复杂博弈的产物,是确保公众与社会之间关系维系的一种平衡。当代中国社会结构日益呈现为市民/公民社会、市场与国家的分化情形,以社会公正为最高追求的社会公共性理念是否能够得以确立,或者已经确立的社会公共性理念究竟合理化与否等,直接影响着制度创新的理念、路径选择。对公共性的领悟与把握的过程,同时也是公共文化氛围营造中民众心智不断健全、成熟的过程。     

CHANGING FAMILIES/CHANGING COMMUNITIES

Scholars writing about community in recent years have been more likely to lament its passing than celebrate its exemplars. What's missing in this recent revival of interest in community is a systematic link with work–family issues and, in particular, an explicit recognition that women's and men's work–family lives have changed dramatically in the post-World War II era. We investigate the consequences of structural shifts in our family and work lives for a sample of elite, managerial women in dual-earner marriages, a population for whom work and family concerns are both immediate and salient. Understanding changing definitions of, and trends in, family and work can provide a useful lens through which we can profitably address recent debates about the decline or resurgence of community and civic society. Our findings suggest that, although conceived differently than in previous decades, family remains central to our respondents’ sense of community and structures their civic engagement. In contrast with previous generations of women, however, work is also important, for defining women's sense of self and community and for offering an alternative venue for community service.

社会主义核心价值体系与高校思想政治教育工作

建设社会主义核心价值体系，是党的十六届六中全会在思想文化建设上的一个重大理论创新，是我们党深刻总结历史经验、科学分析当前形势提出的一项重大任务。建设社会主义核心价值体系，是巩固马克思主义在高校指导地位的需要，是社会转型期高校大学生价值观塑造的需要，也是培育和弘扬当代大学精神的需要。在新的历史时期，高校应把建设社会主义核心价值体系作为中心环节来创新和发展思想政治教育工作，不断增强大学生社会主义共同理想教育的实效性，以大学精神为引领，创建和谐校园文化，以便更好地适应社会主义和谐文化建设的需要。     

当代中国公民话语权的发展现状及完善对策

伴随着中国综合国力的不断增强,民主与法治化进程也在不断向前推进,中国公民的话语权由此得到了快速发展。但毋庸置疑,发展中的公民话语权也陷入了困境,遭遇到了瓶颈。究其原因:既有中国在经济上的贫穷与落后,也有公民话语权实现制度的不完善,还有缺乏足够宽松的话语环境等。为此,应从政府和公民等多角度出发,试图建立起一种合理有效的保障公民话语权得以顺利实现的机制。
